November PRIDE Community Meeting
This morning, we had our November PRIDE community meeting with the whole school spending 45 minutes together in the gym learning about PRIDE from members of the THS Boys and Girls Basketball teams and Coach Gillmann. Students and staff participated in dribbling and shooting competitions, and we ended our time together by drawing two student PRIDE tickets from each grade level and two from that were handed out by the Special Areas team. Students whose PRIDE ticket was drawn received their own basketball. We also introduced students to our new T (pictured below). All PRIDE tickets earned by students are placed inside the T and once it is filled, we will have a whole-school celebration.
A huge shoutout to Lela Gillmann, Jessica Higginbotham, Rachele Carter, Joel Larrison, Jessica Hendricks, Sam Phillips, the high school student athletes, and our whole staff making this community meeting an awesome experience!
